Sarah Sherburne Langdon 1767

"Sarah Sherburne Langdon" is an oil painting by John Singleton Copley completed in 1767. The artwork depicts a young woman, Sarah Sherburne Langdon, holding a bouquet of flowers, perhaps alluding to her marriage to John Langdon the following year. Copley’s work is known for its realism and attention to detail, evident in the sitter's attire and the lush, lifelike flowers. This portrait is considered a fine example of Copley’s skill in capturing the grace and refinement of his subjects during the colonial era.
